The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Upon hearing this voice, a ripple finally appeared in Huangfu Yue's usually calm eyes.

Comparison system?

In her spare time, she reads novels, including system novels.

In most novels, the system is the protagonist's cheat code.

It can enable the protagonist, who starts from humble beginnings, to quickly rise to power and become a trendsetter of the times.

I never imagined that something that usually only exists in fantasy works would one day come to me?

Huangfu Yue's expression remained unchanged, showing no particular surprise.

As the daughter of prophecy, she can reach the top even without the system!

Actually, there was something she had never told her family.

Two and a half years ago, a demonic calamity struck Tianxing City.

Both her and Zhang Ziyang's parents went to the front lines to provide support, leaving her alone at home.

At that time, the surrounding streets were overwhelmed by surging monsters and demons, and she would soon become food for these monsters.

At the critical moment, a powerful card master arrived in time to save her and took her as his personal disciple.

Later, Huangfu Yue learned that her master was one of the seven pillars of the Xia Kingdom.

Bai Wumai, known as the "Ice Witch"!

Her appearance in Tianxing City was no coincidence.

Before Bai Wumai set off, the astrologer, who was also one of the Seven Pillars of the Nation, spent a lot of effort obtaining a prophecy.

The prophecy foretells a catastrophe that will sweep across the entire Xia Kingdom within the next ten years, and the key to resolving the disaster lies in Tianxing City.

And she, Huangfu Yue, was the prophesied woman recognized by Bai Wumai!

According to the prophecy, he will awaken his golden soul card today and officially embark on the path to the peak.

Therefore, even without relying on the system, Huangfu Yue is confident that she can become a peerless powerhouse and freeze all those demons and monsters into frozen shattered ice!

but……

The porcelain doll girl tilted her head expressionlessly.

Since you've already linked it, there's no harm in trying it out, right?

Maybe it can help me shorten my development time and become as amazing as my master faster.

Huangfu Yue asked herself silently.

—What functions does your system have?

The system responded quickly.

[Designate an object and compare it with the host object within a limited time.]

If the host wins, they will receive extremely generous resource rewards; if they lose, they will be punished.

[If the host refuses to comply or fails to complete the task, severe additional penalties will be triggered, including "annihilation," "sealing of cultivation," and "reduction of Soul Card quality to the lowest level."]

[Furthermore, please do not disclose the existence of this system to anyone in any form, otherwise you will be immediately eliminated and unbound.]

Huangfu Yue's eyes remained unchanged, but her delicate brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

It's either sealing their cultivation or obliterating and unbinding them.

This system is a bit unfriendly!

[Start searching for comparison objects]

Search successful. The current comparison target is Zhang Ziyang.

The host can choose one of the following comparison methods.

1. Comparison of overall combat capabilities

2. Comparison of Soul Card Quality

3. Comparison of the number of monsters hunted

4. Comparison of the quality of foreign cards produced

……

Is it him?

The porcelain doll girl was somewhat surprised.

[Please begin your selection, host. Countdown begins: 10, 9, 8, 7...]

Huangfu Yue thought for a moment and quickly made her choice.

—I choose to compare the quality of the Soul Cards!

According to the prophecy, she will awaken her golden soul card today.

As everyone knows, among all Soul Cards, gold is the supreme!

Every Golden Soul Card Awakener is a once-in-a-million genius.

Huangfu Yue didn't believe that Zhang Ziyang could awaken a gold-quality soul card like herself.

The odds are even lower than winning the lottery jackpot!

[Selection successful, settlement will be processed the next day]

[The host wins. The reward is a top-tier meditation technique that best suits him, and a portion of pure-blooded demonic dragon blood essence.]

[If the host loses, he will be punished by having to wear a maid outfit for three consecutive days and provide the winner with services such as waking him up (Young master, wake up!) and putting him to sleep (Young master, it's time for you to go to bed!)].

[Failure to complete will result in the maximum penalty—the Soul Card quality will be reduced to the lowest possible level.]

[Note: You can change your comparison target only after winning. We wish you great success!]

After the system finished speaking, it fell silent.

Huangfu Yue was slightly surprised after hearing this.

The rewards were unexpectedly generous, and the punishments were unexpectedly abstract.

The card master realm is divided into the same levels as the demon beast realm, from level one to level nine.

The conventional way to upgrade is to strengthen one's spiritual power through meditation, thereby improving the quality of the Soul Card.

However, most of the meditation methods circulating in the market are ordinary or even inferior.

Excellent meditation methods are extremely rare, let alone a top-tier meditation method that best suits one's own needs.

Furthermore, the essence blood of a high-level demonic dragon is also an extraordinary treasure.

Among monsters and demons, dragons have always been terrifying and top-tier ferocious beasts.

Pureblooded demon dragons are among the most elite, and once they reach adulthood, they can smoothly reach the seventh rank.

Consuming their essence and blood is very beneficial to the card master.

It can not only greatly enhance the physical fitness of card masters, but also improve the quality of soul cards to a certain extent, and even comprehend the powerful abilities of the dragon race.

These are two top-tier treasures that are very difficult to buy even with money.

Now, you can easily get it simply by surpassing Zhang Ziyang in the quality of the Soul Card.

After spending several years together, Huangfuyue only had three impressions of Zhang Ziyang.

1. He's kind of handsome

2. An average-age peer with average talent, living in their own home.

3. They know how to maintain distance, making them more comfortable to be around.

In short, it can be summed up in four words: utterly unremarkable!

The porcelain doll girl blinked her long, brush-like eyelashes, her beautiful silver eyes revealing a hint of confusion.

Does this really need to be compared?

Just like the phoenix's opponent was actually a little sparrow.

The difficulty of winning is almost nonexistent.

Did the system use the wrong comparison object?

Or……

At first glance, it seems like a freebie scheme with "no difficulty and free rewards"?

System, you're actually quite nice.

……

After washing up, Zhang Ziyang changed into his school uniform, put on his schoolbag, and went downstairs.

I had just greeted Aunt Zhao when I saw Huangfu Yue at the dining table staring intently at me.

The look in his eyes was like that of a cat spotting its prey, while he himself was a large fish that had leaped out of the water to the shore.

Zhang Ziyang asked tentatively:

"Is there something on my face?"

Huangfu Yue shook her head, then looked down at her phone and didn't explain anything.

Zhang Ziyang: (?_?)?

Although he didn't understand what had happened, he quickly stopped worrying about it.

Huangfu Yue was always taciturn and lacked facial expressions, like a delicate and skillful young girl.

It's difficult for outsiders to know her true thoughts.

If she doesn't want to talk about it, then no one can force her to.

Uncle Huangfu wasn't home this morning either; it seems he was working overtime all night at the Special Affairs Bureau again.

After that demonic disaster, Uncle Huangfu was removed from the front lines and transferred to the Special Events Investigation Bureau, which was considered a promotion.

Although the Special Affairs Bureau is not as dangerous as the front lines, it has many tasks, both big and small.

Working overtime and not going home has become the norm.

Zhang Ziyang pulled out a chair and, as was his habit, sat down one seat away from Huangfuyue.

The moment my bottom touched the chair, a clear and beautiful "ding" sounded in my mind!

[A suitable candidate detected. The sticker check-in system is binding you. Binding successful!]

Zhang Ziyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.

He knew that the rule that time travelers must have a cheat code wouldn't be broken in his case.

After waiting for two and a half years, I've finally waited for you!

—System, what functions do you have?

[This system is very simple. As long as the host performs the sticking actions that meet the task requirements, they can complete the check-in and receive generous rewards.]

--I see.

—But you need someone to stick with you, right?

Zhang Zi had a question in his mind.

[Searching for matching sticker objects has begun. Search complete.]
